My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 535

"Tr-Tristan, what about the twins?" Bella’s voice shook with fear.

Tristan’s shoulders slumped slightly, but he hurriedly put aside his worry. He smiled at her before explaining, "Luckily, they are fine. But physically, you are exhausted..." He described her condition in detail.

Bella was shocked. She had never thought her condition would be that bad and could even endanger her pregnancy. She could feel her eyes moisten, blaming herself for being carried away with her emotions and not being careful with her pregnancy.

"I’m sorry, Tristan, to make you worry," Bella said, feeling terrible as she could see how exhausted he looked.

Tristan said nothing but placed his hand on her warm cheek, which was now colored as usual, different from last night when he saw it. Last night, Bella’s forehead was pale as if all her blood had left her face.

"Where’s Dax? Why didn’t he come with you?" Bella asked, feeling worried about her son.

"Dax is alright. He’s staying at your Grandpa’s house with the others. They will come here this afternoon."

"I hope he doesn’t worry about me," Bella remembered when she injured herself. Dax had worried about her a lot. He even cried in fright.

"I called him earlier. He told me he was looking for us and was confused about why we weren’t with him. But he understood when I explained your condition and was excited to come here later to see you..."

"I miss him," Bella said with a shrug.

Tristan felt worried when he saw Bella’s gloomy expression. He distracted her from her longing for Dax by discussing her father’s funeral arrangements.

"Oh, by the way, your father will be buried tomorrow. So, all of his friends and other family members will come to the hospital today to bid him farewell for the last time."

"So soon?" Bella was surprised to hear this. She had thought that her grandfather would wait until some relatives from other cities and abroad arrived before laying him to rest.

"Your Grandpa didn’t want to delay because your father’s passing is unusual. He wanted to ensure that he could rest in peace," Tristan explained.

Bella agreed with her Grandpa’s decision. However, she couldn’t shake the questions she had wanted to ask Tristan since last night—She had put them aside due to the presence of many family members.

"Who killed him?"

Tristan didn’t want to hide anything from her, "Marco!"

Instantly, Bella’s face became red, hearing that bastard name. She gritted her teeth silently while hearing Tristan explain how Reid found a note at the crime scene.

Bella feels like she wants to kill Marco with her hand. How dare he kill her father and challenge her husband like that?

"So, what is your plan to capture that bastard!?" Bella asked.

Tristan explained the situation they were facing now; they couldn’t openly hunt Marco in this country. But he already made another plan with Jack’s help. They will make sure Marco doesn’t have room to move, just like cornering a rat in the trap.

"Jack will expose Marco’s crimes and make him an international fugitive. Using online media and current social media trends, we will ensure he has no place to hide in this country."

"Thank you, hubby," Bella whispered, happy he did it. She really needed to talk to them all.

Tristan gently rubbed his wife’s back before he offered a handshake to Leo and the others and excused himself and Dax to go upstairs, knowing that his wife needed a friend to talk to.

Bella leads the three of them to the library to talk more privately.

"I’m sorry, Bella, for your loss," Harper is the first one to express her condolences. "I can’t fly there to be with you in East City because of office matters."

Harper feels terrible because she can’t stand beside Bella on her sad day. She wants to fly there, but she and Leo have an annual meeting they can’t abandon at the last minute.

"Yes, Bella, I’m sorry too. You know about our meeting, right?" Leo also feels sorry for not being able to be present in the East to accompany her.

"It’s fine, Harper, Leo…" Bella smiles at them. "What happened to my dad was so sudden. No need to blame yourself. I’m fine now, and having you here is enough to make me feel better."

"I hope your dad is resting peacefully now," Stefan said. He wanted to fly to East City two days ago, but Bella forbade him.

"Thanks, Stefan," Bella glanced at him. She was surprised, looking at how dark his expression was now. "What happened? Why do you look annoyed?"

"I’m not annoyed, just lack of sleep," Stefan barely smiles at Bella. "You already know about Jack and your husband’s plan, right?"

Bella nods. "Yeah, I know—"
